217 Towards the final
On the evening of the 25th, a semi-final that gathered the focus of European football was officially kicked off at the Bernabeu Stadium, and the night before, Pep Guardiola's Barcelona finally fell at the feet of old enemies Chelsea, missed the opportunity to enter the Allianz Arena, and will compete for another team to advance tonight.
The impact of the misjudgment in the first leg is still quite large, UEFA and the referee committee are very worried about the penalty of the second leg, and are very careful in the selection of the referee team and referee, the Hungarian world-class referee Kaushoi took on the responsibility of officiating the game, this personnel is the result of careful consideration by UEFA and the referee committee, but the fans of Trapani are vigorously belittled by UEFA and the referee committee.
This is also human nature, once the authority does something wrong, then the credibility will be greatly damaged, it will take a long time to smooth out the impact and regain the recognition of the fans, this incident is also the same, not only Trapani fans, even other melon-eating people will think that Trapani is eliminated, UEFA and his referee committee will be to blame.
Wenger, who was affected by the ban, only participated in the pre-match press conference, and said of the misjudgment: "The misjudgment has happened, we are now preparing for the second leg, there is no need to discuss the past! I still have full confidence that we can go to the Allianz Arena! ”
Wenger keeps his mouth shut about the misjudgment, he is not a fan or a melon eater, others can dwell on the miscalculation, but he really doesn't have to, because he has to look forward, the team's strength is higher than Real Madrid, even if the Bernabeu is a holy place, but don't forget that Trapani has also broken them, this time Wenger still believes in his players.
Trapani's side is very low-key, only a few people have been interviewed by the official media, and Trapani's star Messi said of the game: "Now that we have reached the semi-finals, every opponent is not easy! But we're not weak, as long as we do what we can do, we'll definitely be able to advance! ”
Real Madrid are not too reckless, they are full of confidence up and down, and they are not afraid of misjudging the incident at all.
In the Bernabeu VIP box, Hugo and Trapani's hierarchy and his son Angelo were patiently waiting for the match to begin, and Sailly told Hugo a story from The Sun that Jose Mourinho had messaged his former disciples before the second leg between Chelsea and Barcelona to meet in the final.
"Where did he get so much confidence?!" Hugo snorted, "Is Trapani a vegetable melon?!" Blind confidence! ”
"Isn't it! But it's a good thing for us, the more confident he is, the more likely he is to take risks, and then our chance will come! Sailly said with a smile.
……
Mourinho's tactics are not difficult to guess, he has not changed much over the years, relying on defensive counterattacks to go the world, in the Porto period in fact, his lineup is really not handy, there is defense but the finishing ability is poor on the European stage, but whether it is in Chelsea or Inter Milan, Mourinho must have a striker with strong finishing ability, and now in Real Madrid, his frontcourt players will only have stronger finishing ability than before.
So for this game, Mourinho has a high probability of attacking for a period of time at the beginning, which is to use the momentum of the home field to suppress Trapani, and then the changes will see the effect.
Compared with the previous game, Mourinho's starting lineup has not changed in particular, the only change is that Marcelo replaced Coentrão, and this change shows that Mourinho wants the left wing-back side to give Ronaldo more support.
Trapani's starting team did not make adjustments, it is still the same combination from the last round, Wenger asked them to play a small and fast before the game, not to be slightly conservative in possession like the last game, the reason is not that Trapani has lost and cannot lose, but Trapani is now away, it is very important to get away goals, he is not afraid of attacking with opponents, risky?! It doesn't exist, everyone is taking risks.
The pre-match prediction was correct, with the whistle blowing from Kaushoi, Real Madrid and Trapani quickly pulled off the pitch, the home team was tactically conservative but not conservative, and the away team should be conservative and not conservative in terms of strategy.
The two sides went back and forth, the speed of passing and receiving the ball was extremely fast, and the transition between attack and defense was very exciting, and everyone completed their first shot on goal in less than three minutes after the opening.
Real Madrid took the lead in the 12th minute, when Cristiano Ronaldo showed his free-kick skills at the edge of the box and broke the door of Kameni with a miraculous elevator kick.
The Bernabeu fans cheered loudly for their hero, Wenger pinched his knuckles vigorously in this cheer, and his heart chuckled, it is definitely not a good thing to let Real Madrid take the lead so quickly, his heart is full of helplessness at this moment, and at the same time he is expecting.
Unfortunately, Ronaldo's free kick is indeed insoluble, and there is a great possibility that other goalkeepers will not be able to complete the save, and what he expects is that Mourinho will not shrink back in defense after taking the lead so quickly, and he hopes that Real Madrid can take advantage of the victory to chase and be more open.
Cristiano Ronaldo ran to the sidelines to celebrate his goal, it was not the first time he had played against his old club, but it was definitely a goal that satisfied him himself, Real Madrid stepped up when they needed him the most, he was proud and proud.
"What would have happened if he hadn't been sold?!" After Ronaldo's goal, Hugo's mind went blank for a while, and then he unconsciously came up with such thoughts.
I have known for a long time that they are peerless duo, but if the two of them are in the same team, maybe there will be no peerless duo in this world, magic wings are just dreams, Trapani has the conditions to achieve such a coexistence of Ronaldo and Messi, but maybe the wings are not magical.
Rao is experienced Mascherano is a little confused in his mind, 32 meters, such a distance! It's incredible that a free-kick can be scored, it looks like it's inexplicable, and it was Mascherano who gave Real Madrid a set-piece opportunity.
Messi, who has never been very good at incition, bravely stood up when Kameni and the backline were a little silent, and he clapped his hands and greeted his teammates, "Wake up the!" Wouldn't it be enough for us to concede a goal and concede a goal?! This is a battlefield, not a prayer room! ”
Of course, the psychological quality of a team like Trapani can't be so bad, but Ronaldo's goal is really a bit shocking, and it's too beautiful to say.
was yelled at by Messi, everyone quickly woke up, and after the restart, Trapani's performance was as positive as at the beginning.
Mourinho really fulfilled Wenger's wish, and really did not sacrifice his iron bucket formation, but continued to fight hard with Trapani, Mourinho made such a choice for a reason, on the one hand, he wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, on the other hand, he was not confident in his own defense, it can be seen from the last game, it is too difficult to really block Trapani's attack, and he can get 0:0 in the first leg, Mourinho has to admit that his luck is actually good.
So at this time he especially wants to expand the lead, the benefits of expanding the lead are to improve the morale of his players and hit the morale of the opponent, and second, with this score base, the players are more likely to be out of shape in defense, because their psychological pressure on defense is much less.
Trapani is still fast and often plays behind, and Real Madrid is also a little embarrassed to defend.
